Bandwidth Management — Intelligently Prioritising and Managing Bandwidth
As much as 50% of WAN bandwidth is often used by non-essential traffic, including recreational and social traffic such as social networking. This can seriously impact business-critical applications, which have to contend with restricted bandwidth and are often delayed as a result. In order to ensure that essential traffic receives a sufficiently high priority level, effective bandwidth management is necessary to prevent congestion and make sure the network operates properly.Sangfor uses a combination of technical solutions to ensure bandwidth is managed effectively:
- Quality of Service (QoS) reduces bandwidth congestion and ensures business-critical applications are processed on time by setting policy rules to determine individual priorities.
- Webpush analyses users’ requests and anticipates requirements by pre-fetching objects, making full use of remaining bandwidth and accelerating web-based applications.
- comprehensive reports and statistics that analyse traffic flows, identify bandwidth abuse and show where bottlenecks occur are provided; these enable network administrators to focus on areas of the WAN that require optimisation.
